For a Simple Glass of Water

North Carolina depends on a number of sources for water. One third of our citizens, mostly living in eastern North Carolina, depend on ground water for their supply. What are the aquifers we use, how are we using them, and what will be available in the future? What are the threats to this resource and how will our current use impact future supplies and water quality?
